Gaming on Intel’s HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake)? Sure, why not.
Yes, sure, the integrated graphics isn’t intended for gaming and it sure isn’t the optimal solution even for gaming on a budget but since we tested the Intel HD Graphics 620’s raw performance in benchmark tests, we decided to give it a go.
You can find notebooks with the new Kaby Lake processors here:
Intel Core i7-7500U: Cumpărați de pe Amazon.com (#CommissionsEarned)
Intel Core i5-5200U: Cumpărați de pe Amazon.com (#CommissionsEarned)
Intel Core i3-7100U: Cumpărați de pe Amazon.com (#CommissionsEarned)
Lenovo’s Yoga 910 is equipped with the Core i5-7200U CPU and its integrated HD Graphics 620 and with a little help of the 8GB DDR4-2133 RAM chip, the device seems to be fully capable of running some of the latest games in low resolution and low graphics settings. We ran CS:GO and GTA V and by the looks of it, you can casually game on this thing every now and then. Older much less demanding games will run even smoother while League of Legends and DOTA 2 will be absolutely playable. How cool is that?
This, however, raises a very serious question. Is there a point in buying GeForce 930M and 920M-equppied notebooks? What about the low-end AMD graphics like the R5 series – the M335 and M315? Well, probably not. They consume more power, weigh more and notebooks with these chips will probably cost more than other notebooks relying on Kaby Lake’s integrated graphics. Still, you have to settle for lower graphic settings for sure. Here are the frame rates we got from the gaming tests.
| Game/Resolution | 1366 x 768 | 800 x 600 |
|---|---|---|
| Counter-Strike: Global Offensive | 54 fps | – |
| Grand Theft Auto V | 27 fps | 32 fps |
| F1 2015 | 25 fps | 45 fps |

After tweaking a bit ( without mods) GTA V runs on 60 fps in 1024p. But raising the bar to 4k slows it to a damn 5 – 6 fps. Why so much difference ?
It drops so much because you’re more than quadrupling the pixel output for the game. It’s going to be impossible to game at 4k on integrated graphics, especially in a game like GTA V. I’m honestly surprised you even got 5 FPS.
what about second life?
can i run corel draw 17 or adobe ilustrator on intel hd 620 ?
I m playing rise of tomb raider with medium graphics ,far cry vrry high , assassin creed rouge max settings all working butter on intel hd graphics 620 core i7 7500U
Which far cry??? 1 or2 or 3.
No you aren’t.
I just wanna ask can installing too many games slow down my laptop laptop is i7 7500 dell visrtro 8 gb ram.
Installing games simply takes up hard drive space. Once installed, there are no active resources necessary to keep them there.
How will this Intel 620 perform for Adobe Lightroom?
It should run fine
Do you think I can run Planet Coaster on the Lenovo 520-15IKB, it has: I5-7200U Processor, 8GB RAM and a Intel HD Graphics 620.. And something else, I want to upgrade the RAM to 16GB.. does this have influence?
What about Sims 3 and second life
Can I Forza Horizon 4 or 5, Beam.NG Drive, and YouTube videos with 1440p or 1080p on a Lenovo Miix 720 -12ikb? It’s an Intel i5 7th Gen, 8 GB DDR4 ram, Intel HD Graphics 620, 512 GB SSD (there was no more information). I want to see if It’s a good deal.
